SWEDA (Skills Work and Enterprise Development Agency) is delighted to announce that we have been shortlisted for the voting round of RBS Skills and Opportunities Fund. Our Bright Futures project will feature on the RBS voting webpage amongst others from Friday 30th October, 12pm onwards.

When SWEDA were looking for something new to help them train a group of young people (NEETs – not in employment education and training) they turned to Malissa Lewis-Francis a past employee who was now teaching. As it happened Malissa had identified a gap in the market place which went straight to the root of engaging with young people from the BAME community.
